Too many guessed this one correctly to tag them all… did the penguin reference give it away?

Yes yes! Don't bridge coins. Just have secure x-chain message passing. Glad others are waking up to this important realization too! But x-chain messages need to be fast, requiring a universally trusted fast-finality layer for L2s. Andrew's article misses some critical points 🧵

We're building our crosschain future. Join @jillrgunter & @blockchainzilla from ApeChain/@apecoin tomorrow to discuss: 🔹Fast finality w/out sacrificing sovereignty/security 🔹Bridgeless crosschain NFT minting 🔹What composability unlocks for builders https://t.co/5107sEvToc

“Name the partner we discuss here.” ALTLAYER Many guessed Caldera, citing Vienna, an OP stack rollup Caldera helped deploy on Espresso’s Cortado testnet, as the “imperial city” referenced in the riddle. Good guess, but wrong. AltLayer is a long-time contributor to the Espresso

On track to reach subsecond finality in 2026 🎯 We reached 2-second finality on our devnet, which is globally distributed & the same infra powering our Decaf testnet & Espresso mainnet. Credit to our cracked HotShot consensus team pushing the boundaries of what's possible.

In a world of infinite chains, one thing matters: fast, secure finality for real composability. Espresso is purpose-built to deliver it. Daily airdrop criteria reveals begin tmrw, recognizing the believers, builders & long-term thinkers who saw this early. Notifications on 🫡

This is what fast base layer finality looks like in practice.
“Which chain from the start?” RARI @RariChain was the first rollup to integrate with Espresso mainnet (Jan 2025). Since then, Espresso has confirmed 2,124,335 RARI blocks, reducing the time RARI txs have spent in an unfinalized state by roughly 421,326 hours! It’s also home to

"Which bridge partnered on this quest?" ACROSS Rewind to ETH Denver 2024: During @EspressoSys' Beyond the Base Layer event, @benafisch demoed crosschain bridging between two Arbitrum Nova chains deployed on Espresso's Gibraltar testnet in under 10 seconds using @AcrossProtocol.
Path to TGE #4: Long-time collaborators in the game. Beyond the base layer, we showed our stuff. State what you want, not how to get there. Two testnet chains, assets flew through the air. Speed secured, finality blessed. Which bridge partnered on this quest?
